What Is Nigeria Doing In The Race Of The Self-driving Cars? by ladilawalopen: 1:19pm On Jun 20, 2018
We call ourselves the giant of Africa, but its quite sad that even the dwarf of America or Asia etc. are doing great things through innovative ideas in every aspect of life.
The competition between Asia and America is raging on, in the aspect of self-driven cars, with a wide variety of players from the tech giants and start-ups vying for the dominance.
But the question here is why aren’t we innovative? Aren’t we thought to think, or is this a case of poor education? Most times I wonder what the rest of the world thinks about our continent, little wonder Donald trump called us a ‘shithole’ continent.��
We are not creative at all; we almost lack the capability or act to conceive something original or unusual.
2018, the rest of the world is designing self driven cars to take kids to school, send people to work, help people with disabilities or without a driver’s license and revolutionize people’s lives and the world transportation systems.
Meanwhile, in Nigeria, we are busy importing ideas and celebrating them, as though we have an idea how the components were designed.
"I think Nigeria, Just like china should start training highly intelligent scientist, with a purpose, not just the usual send graduates abroad without a purpose’. There are two reasons why the rest of the world is ahead of us, One is that they started earlier. Another is that they really invested a lot in terms of capital and employees."
The gap between Africa and the rest of the world is still there, But having been to America, I have to admit the driving situation in America is somewhat different, because of the unique opportunities there.

Thanks for reading. How do you think Africa can be a game changer in
